Dallas Turner’s emergence proving to be a bright spot for Vikings
Turner has recorded 5.5 sacks this season using fundamentals and veteran guidance, showing steady growth after early career challenges, Vikings say.
- On Sunday, Dallas Turner heads into the Vikings' matchup at U.S. Bank Stadium with 5 1/2 sacks, flourishing amid the best stretch of his career.
- Turner credits a Nick Saban lesson about ignoring outside noise called `rat poison` and the fundamentals of setting edges, playing the run, and taking on double teams for his growth.
- A three-game stretch produced multiple sacks and forced fumbles, with Turner recording a sack vs Chicago Bears, a sack in Green Bay Packers, and two strip-sacks of Sam Darnold in Seattle Seahawks.
- Coaches and veterans have publicly praised Turner's approach and steady improvement, with Brian Flores encouraged by his work ethic despite fluctuating playing time and Kevin O'Connell and veterans Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel noting his focus and development.
- After a quiet rookie year, Dallas Turner has found his stride with three sacks and 20 tackles last year, and at age 22 could extend his streak to four against Jayden Daniels.
